Moving from somewhere and starting afresh. Content is liable to include gay kink, music, a sprinkle of non-partisan politics, homespun philosophy and gardening.

Can someone keep watch over David Attenborough for a little while, just until the grieving period for Dolly Parton is over.

There are few things more distasteful in the gay kink world than gay men using feminine terms for submissives. I can do without you dragging the patriarchy into this.

In Trump’s mind the greatest possible insult is to call someone a loser. Which is why he will never accept that he lost an election.

People when a Qatari player in the #WorldCup gets suspended for 5 matches: that’s appropriate for the particular foul. People when an American player gets 0 matches and an English player gets 2 matches: EVERY RED CARD SHOULD HAVE THE SAME PUNISHMENT! The bias you are revealing isn’t in FIFA.

I get tired of football commentators saying things like how often a team wins after scoring the first goal. Yes, in a sport where scoring is infrequent, your chances of continuing to win once you are ALREADY winning are quite good. This is not worthy of such frequent comment.

The revamp of @reconnews.bsky.social just gets worse. On my desktop I typed my city name for the location to set it manually, but because I didn’t move the pin, it seems it is now PERMANENTLY set at the centre of the city. Meaning all the information about nearby profiles is permanently wrong.

@reconnews.bsky.social apparently does not understand the fundamental difference between “5 kilometres away” and “5 kilometres away in this specific suburb and if you move the pin around you can narrow it down even more”. Until they do, they will turn a lot of users off.

The Recon app redesign has found another way to be stupid: location information that is accurate rather than meaningful. It shows my specific suburb which is useless to anyone I might chat to who doesn’t live in this city and isn’t familiar with it.

Could people just take a day or two off from displaying their thoughtlessness and stupidity on social media? It’s getting tiring. Some white cis heterosexual monolingual English speakers seem unable to grasp that other kinds of people are allowed to exist.

Today has been one of those days where I’ve wanted to die. I won’t, but I’ve wanted to. Triggered by trying to reach out and be part of the kink community, and failing. And feeling like I won’t ever succeed. When you feel weird and different even in a kink space, it’s pretty devastating.

A person who clearly ignores a link you’ve already offered doesn’t get to demand more links. It would be such a waste of effort.

Turns out that the IOC struggles with understanding the difference between the existence of a gene and the expression of it. Most of the people affected by this will be cis women with certain intersex characteristics. Women who have been regarded by society as female their entire lives.

This is Wiley. He has never seen snow before and wants to make sure he gets a real good look at it. For science. 12/10 (IG: smileywileydog)
